The new Redmine 2.0.0 release now supports Rails 3.2.3 and that, along with a few other changes, makes the installation route slightly different.

As stated before, I AM NOT a Linux/Ubuntu guru, so any mistakes are of my own making and I’d appreciate any feedback to make the installation better/clearer.

So, with all that said, here goes:

I know that Redmine can be installed as a package in Ubuntu, but it doesn’t appear to be the latest version (1.4.2 at the time of writing). So I’m taking the longer route to get it working, as I couldn’t get it to configure the way I want. It does have the advantage that I’m using the very latest version straight from RubyForge.

For this install, I’m using a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, configured as a LAMP server, so Apache, MySQL & PHP are already installed.
Get into the folder where we’re going to install & configure Redmine from:

cd /usr/share

Now we’re going to download the latest version of Redmine from RubyForge:
